Switching from led to hps for flower?
Purple2by4started grow question 4 years ago
Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!

Depends on your LED light brother,
most LEDs are better than HPS now.

That would depend on the quality of your led light. The newest samsung led's are full spectrum and are superior to hps in most every way. I use a spider farmer sf 1000 for veg and flower with excellent results. Happy growing.

23 hours light per day?I’m running 4 autos in a 4x4 tent on 20 hours of light per day. I’m thinking about the possibility of changing the light hours to 23 hours a day and 1 dark hour. I’m currently on week 8/9, I’m expecting it to finish roughly 12/14 weeks from birth. Any thoughts on this growers?Setup. Lighting

New house - new light!Since I'm moving in a month or two I'm gonna buy a new light for vertical growing for celebration!
I'm still going to use the 80x80 but I'll have some space in a separate room, more comfy..
Which light is better for a vertical grow?

Veg/Bloom switchMy plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout.
Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

When to turn the light on after sprouting?We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?
